]]>The Halloween Festival at Disneyland Paris is currently in full swing, and one person who was spotted enjoying the festivities this week was Salma Hayek.

The actress was pictured enjoying the Halloween parade, which this year features a new float in celebration of Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary. Salma then took time to meet Disney favourites Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who were dressed for the occasion in their Mexican costumes as a tribute to Salma’s home country. The trio took some photos and even had time to dance together as the music of Mexico played out in Frontierland, Disneyland Park.

Later, Salma was pictured enjoying a meet and greet with Miguel, the star of the Disney Pixar film Coco, who is brought to life through a puppet storyteller. Salma was very proud to have her picture taken alongside them, and happy to see that Mexico was well represented in the Disneyland Paris universe.

This year, Halloween promises to be a wickedly wonderful party and will also celebrate Mickey himself. He will steal the show with a new float designed especially for him in the Halloween parade, a new attraction called “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” will make its appearance at Discoveryland, and of course Halloween wouldn’t be the same without the “Disney Villains” who will feature in a spectacular show this Halloween at Disneyland Paris…

Mickey’s Halloween Cavalcade
Mickey’s Halloween Cavalcade, the most eagerly awaited parade of the season, is finally back with a bespoke addition: a new float called “Mickey’s Illusion Manor”. The float will celebrate 90 years of imagination in the most mischievous of ways, with apparitions and disappearances… Yes, Mickey can’t wait to play some tricks on you. What’s more, he’ll also have help from some strange zombies and the three pranksters Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge’s nephews. No reason to panic though, as Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Chip and Dale, the Three Little Pigs, and many others will parade in their own floats, which will all exude cheerfulness and autumn colours.

New attraction: “Mickey’s PhilharMagic”*
The “Mickey 90 Mouse Party” will mark the arrival, on 1st October 2018, of a new attraction: “Mickey’s PhilharMagic”. Get ready to enjoy a new 4D experience at the Discoveryland Theatre. Once seated, you will find Mickey and Donald on the big screen. They will cast you into the very heart of some of the greatest Disney classics such as Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King, with new misadventures caused by the out-of-control Donald Duck. Guests can have fun with Disney’s most popular songs and celebrate 90 years of Mickey in style.

*The attraction “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” will remain open after the Halloween season

Face to face with the Disney Villains
Halloween is the season of all possibilities, especially for those who want to mingle with the most famous of Disney Villains. The terrifying Maleficent will cast a spell to transform the courtyard of Sleeping Beauty Castle into a huge briar bush taking the shape of her ominous dragon, and she will also be on-hand to meet with and take photos with the more daring of guests.

Disney Villains invite you to their show “It’s Good to be Bad with the Disney Villains!” at the Castle Theatre. Join the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cruella (101 Dalmatians), Captain Hook (Peter Pan), the Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland), Jafar (Aladdin), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), Dr Facilier (The Princess and the Frog), and also Cinderella’s stepsisters and stepmother, Drizella, Anastasia, and Lady Tremaine, for this not-to-be-missed show. Look out for intruder Donald, who dresses up as Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) so that he can party with the Disney Villains. After the show, the Disney Villains will take malicious delight in posing for photos with you.

Even more encounters with Halloween stars
The Disney Villains aren’t the one ones preparing to invade Disneyland Park to celebrate their favourite season. Minnie, Stitch, Goofy, José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (Donald’s partners in crime in the film The Three Caballeros) and even the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland promise new unforgettable encounters. A word of advice: don’t forget to grab the programme and map at the entrance to the Disney Parks to make sure you don’t miss anything.

In celebration of the Halloween season, a monstrously crazy and colourful atmosphere will take over Disneyland Park. Ghosts and pumpkins will invade Main Street, U.S.A., as well as Frontierland. Colourful, tall sculptures will also have their place at the heart of the festivities, and throughout the season you will be able to encounter the puppet of Miguel, the star of the Disney/Pixar film Coco, at the Fuente del Oro restaurant.

The Halloween season takes place from 1st October to 4th November 2018. The “Mickey 90 Mouse Party” will be followed by a new Christmas season, full of surprises.

]]>World Record holder Paula Radcliffe and TV personalities Michelle Heaton and Ryan Libbey were amongst thousands of runners who took part in the third annual Magic Run Weekend at Disneyland Paris this weekend.

From the 100m kid’s race to the half marathon, there was something for all types of runner at the Disneyland Paris Magic Run Weekend, the European event on the runDisney programme.

The stars joined Mickey Mouse and almost 26,000 fitness fanatics to compete in races through both Disney Parks. Taking in the sights along the way including Sleeping Beauty Castle and the world famous Main Street U.S.A., whilst being cheered on by their families. Ahead of the event, Mickey Mouse and Goofy posed for pictures with the group in his very own special running attire to give them some extra motivation.

Proving she’s as fit as ever, Magic Run Weekend Ambassador Paula Radcliffe took on the 36K challenge, with her family joining her for the 5K race. Speaking of her weekend, Paula said:

“For me, it’s always a pleasure to come to the Disneyland Paris Magic Run Weekend. It’s a magical event. This year, my son came with me so that together we could enjoy the Disney atmosphere and characters, as well as behind the scenes at the theme parks. This is what makes the event, which manages to bring together fans of Disney, newcomers to sport, regular sportspeople and experienced runners, so great.” – Paula Radcliffe

Michelle Heaton completed her hattrick of Magic Runs through Disneyland Paris in just 2 hours 25 minutes dressed as the Evil Queen from Snow White, as her children who had competed in Kids Races earlier in the day were by her side to cheer her on. Speaking of the experience, Michelle said “this was my favourite year competing in the Disneyland Paris Magic Run Weekend so. It meant so much this year. I think it’s because Faith and AJ are of that perfect age where they really understand the magic of Disney and how hard it is to commit to something like this. It gives them something to aspire to, especially when they did their own mini race yesterday. I cried as soon as I got over the line. To have both the kids run up and truly be proud of me means so much.”

Made in Chelsea star Ryan Libbey conquered 10K in an impressive 55 minutes. Speaking of his experience, Ryan said “It was such a privilege to be able to take part in the Disneyland Paris Magic Run Weekend. It’s super special to see the park before it opens to the public and you also get to meet some characters along the way, which is a bonus, as is the added atmosphere and support from all of the Disneyland Paris staff on the sidelines cheering you on all of the way around. It’s truly a magical experience and I enjoyed it so much!”

When they weren’t participating in the weekend’s magical runs, the celebrities took time to soak up the magic of Disneyland Paris by enjoying viewings of Disney Stars on Parade! and the night-time spectacular, Disney Illuminations. The thrill-seekers also made time for the attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

The float will celebrate 90 years of imagination in the most mischievous of ways, with apparitions and disappearances… Yes, Mickey can’t wait to play some tricks on you. What’s more, he’ll also have help from some strange zombies and the three pranksters Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge’s nephews. No reason to panic though, as Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Chip and Dale, the Three Little Pigs, and many others will parade in their own floats, which will all exude cheerfulness and autumn colours.

New attraction: “Mickey’s PhilharMagic”*
The “Mickey 90 Mouse Party” will mark the arrival, on 1st October 2018, of a brand-new attraction: “Mickey’s PhilharMagic”. Get ready to enjoy a new 4D experience at the Discoveryland Theatre. Once seated, you will find Mickey and Donald on the big screen. They will cast you into the very heart of some of the greatest Disney classics such as Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King, with new misadventures caused by the out-of-control Donald Duck. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have fun with Disney’s most popular songs and to celebrate 90 years of Mickey in style.
*The attraction “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” will remain open after the Halloween season

Face to face with the Disney Villains
Halloween is the season of all possibilities, especially for those who are dying to mingle with the most famous of Disney Villains. The terrifying Maleficent will cast a spell to transform the courtyard of Sleeping Beauty Castle into a huge briar bush taking the shape of her ominous dragon, and she will also be on-hand to meet with and take photos with the more daring of guests.

Disney Villains invite you to their show “It’s Good to be Bad with the Disney Villains!” at the Castle Theatre. Join the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cruella (101 Dalmatians), Captain Hook (Peter Pan), the Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland), Jafar (Aladdin), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), Dr Facilier (The Princess and the Frog), and also Cinderella’s stepsisters and stepmother, Drizella, Anastasia, and Lady Tremaine, for this not-to-be-missed show. Look out for intruder Donald, who dresses up as Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) so that he can party with the Disney Villains. After the show, the Disney Villains will take malicious delight in posing for photos with you.

Even more encounters with Halloween stars
The Disney Villains aren’t the one ones preparing to invade Disneyland Park to celebrate their favourite season. Minnie, Stitch, Goofy, José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (Donald’s partners in crime in the film The Three Caballeros) and even the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland promise new unforgettable encounters. A word of advice: don’t forget to grab the programme and map at the entrance to the Disney Parks to make sure you don’t miss anything.

In celebration of the Halloween season, a monstrously crazy and colourful atmosphere will take over Disneyland Park. Ghosts and pumpkins will invade Main Street, U.S.A., as well as Frontierland. Colourful, tall sculptures will also have their place at the heart of the festivities, and throughout the season you will be able to encounter the puppet of Miguel, the star of the Disney/Pixar film Coco, at the Fuente del Oro restaurant.
The Halloween season takes place from 1st October to 4th November 2018. The “Mickey 90 Mouse Party” will be followed by a new Christmas season, full of surprises. More information to come on news.disneylandparis.com/en.
